5280 - What a blast

Last week was Denver Restaurant week, affectionately known as 5280 Week.

Denver has been named the "Mile High" city for many years, mainly due to the fact that it situated a mile above sea-level. For those of you who use the metric system: there are 5280 feet in a mile, so it is a number close to the heart of the city.

Denver Restaurant Week is:

"a seven-day celebration of the culinary scene in Denver. For the entire week of
Feb. 25 - March 3, participating restaurants will offer a multi-course dinner
for the fixed price of $52.80 for two, or $26.40 for one

Oh geez was it good! On Friday, Abby, myself and another couple went to Randolphs to test out the delights of the 5280 menu. The food was amazing, the waiters knowledgeable, the wine list was excellent, and to top it all off they had a pianist playing a baby grand piano for ambiance.

I had:

• Smoked Trout Pate - Poblano Marmalade & Crostini
• Certified Angus Beef Sirloin - Chili Rubbed & Served with Broccoli Fennel Compote, Saffron Mashed Potatoes & Savory Raspberry Sauce
• Chocolate Pot de Creme

All the other selections made at our table were equally as tasty, and if their regular a la carte menu is as good, I would recommend Randolphs in a heartbeat.
